This is the closest thing to a steady paycheck a professional gambler. It has become a new fade to wear "poker Shirts" they are shirts with the names of poker sponsors on them. Players wear them to make themselves look like the professionals. You can always recognize the fakes; they are usually sitting around the tables with the lowest max bet and usually only bet the table minimum.

Tournaments:
To really be known as a professional gambler you are going to need to win a tournament or two. This is where a professional players makes the money he needs to travel around gambling all year long.
